El Verbo
Book artist StyleBook artistJonatan González Cuesta, known as elVerbo, is a talented blackwork tattoo artist with five years of experience. His journey began as an illustrator, designing posters for music and film. Over time, his creative exploration led him to tattooing, which became the perfect medium for expressing his artistic vision in BHORN Tattoo and Design Studio in Barcelona, Spain.
Jonatan’s work is characterized by a careful focus on small details, intricate textures, and constant experimentation with techniques. He enjoys taking on a variety of projects, from walk-ins and flash designs to small and medium custom tattoo projects. His specialty lies in complex projects inspired by medieval Europe, fantasy, paganism, esotericism, and witchcraft—subjects he passionately integrates into his own designs.
Drawing inspiration from his love of history, myth, and dark fantasy, Jonatan tailors his style to each client’s vision, creating a collaborative experience that combines his expertise with their unique ideas.
When he’s not tattooing, Jonatan enjoys watching films, discovering new music, practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and playing board games. Deeply inspired by the cultures and landscapes of Japan, Scotland, and Norway, he incorporates these influences into his artistry, blending global perspectives with personal creativity.
